So agree with you, thought that was poor tactically.Peter Fleming kept making same comment. Perhaps Colin was reluctant to tell Andy what to do. Saw him play with Marray at Queens and both were at the net there.Disappointing really.

Andy was smiling when they came off court. I think the pair of them have done brilliantly in this tournament given that they've never played doubles together before, and Andy doesn't play doubles much anyway. Their score against the world #2 was very respectable.

Think they did fantastically well to get to the final. Their opponents are 2nd best doubles team in the world currently and the score was tight. A great pay day for Colin in both points and cold hard cash and Andy got some match play to help sharpen him up to wipe the grin off Gulbis face (if they play). I'm happy and frankly Andy seemed to be too. Onwards and upwards.

@AileenCome off it! Andy studies the game closely and presumably know how doubles should be played

We all know what bloody good hands he's got at the net and how reluctant he seems to be to utilise this skill. Doubles should be a splendid chance to get some more practise in.And if he doesn't know, Colin should've told him.

I think Colin and Andy did so well to reach the final. They bet lots of great doubles players along the way. They were well beaten in the final. At least there was some positives to take from this week.

I think the boys did well to get to the final. They beat a number of established doubles pairings to get there. Today they were just beaten by the no.2 in the world pairing. No shame in that at all.

I agree with Peter Fleming that if Andy played more dubs he'd probably be the best in the world. He doesn't play dubs much though, for obvious reasons, doesn't need to.

Sure, they got their tactics a bit wrong today. In singles I think Andy would have seen that and changed it. In dubs you need to work with your partner. Dubs is not the place for unilateral decisions. Either way, they were beaten by an experienced doubles team. As they were a scratch pairing I don't have an issue with that. For goodness sake, they were runners up in a Masters final!

I'm chuffed that Colin's ranking will gain from their efforts this week, and that Andy was able to get more matches in. Well done boys!

I see the dubs as pure bonus. Yes they got their tactics wrong in final but like others I put that down to them not having played together since they were kids. Amazing how well they did really considering that. Here's another nice interview in the BBC report , though Andy looks rather distracted (he explains why at the end!)http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/23661675
